Hi! I created a project and has successfully created a setup file. ( i used windows xp to create the package).
I am a problem when I installed the project in windows2000. It has compatibility error. Is there a way to solve this? Im using windows xp in developing my project but i'll be deploying it in windows 2000.
Please help.

What compatibility error?
i mean a files being added to the package is newer than the files in windows2000 and it ask me to update windows2000 but the problem is the target computer is not connected to internet.
What packaging software did you use to create the installation package?
I used the vb6 built-in packager
Perhaps downloading the vb6 redistributable runtimes from MS and then copy over to a CD for installing on the 2000 system. If it also needs other system files to be updated then do you already have SP-4 installed for 2000? Is there any way of getting it on the net for a Windows Update?
ok. thanks for your input. I'll do that.
You might get this error and here is how to get around it.

Also just because you create an installation in XP doesn't mean it will install PROPERLY on other OS's or even on XP itself. There are many, many issues regarding a proper installation that are often overlooked causing other installed applications to fail or even the users system to crash.
This is inherit with a installation blindly created with PDW without the research... It can also happen with other installations without the research... PDW is just more prone to it.
